A U.S. airstrike struck a convoy in Baghdad airport Thursday night, killing Iranian Major-General Qassim Soleimani, head of the elite Quds Force, and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, according to multiple reports.
A spokesman for Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces umbrella grouping of Iran-backed militias confirmed the deaths, saying "the American and Israeli enemy is responsible for killing the mujahideen Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Qassim Soleimani." The U.S. has yet to officially confirm the strike.
